I designed it for somebody who was playing at a club, working with a label, about to be signed. I wanted to build a "workingman's guitar" for a new generation of players. That guitar evolved from many years of seeing things in guitars that I like or dislike. A lot of designs on that guitar are my gut-level reaction to what I see people playing, my playing, and what players tell me they like and dislike – or find comfortable and uncomfortable. "There's a lot of design in the M-80 that doesn't meet the eye. For example, the body comes from a shortened Mustang guitar. If you put a longer-scale neck on a Mustang, you have to shorten the body, so it feels right. I placed the strap buttons, so that when the guitar is hanging, it feels familiar."
